Ecology and Biology of
Venomous Species
Working with James Cook University to discover more about the mechanics of how venoms work in different species.
Venom toxicity
Understanding the relationship between venom toxicity and prey, why venoms are often quite complex, and researching the novel compounds from venomous animals.
